My Galaxy S4's home button is pressed in. Back when I first got the phone, the home button would protrude out and and when pressed it, it would have a tactile feel to it.

Now it is edged in.

Any S4 owners want to chime in?

I got the ATT version.

Like it is broken? Warranty claim.

I will admit I don't think the S4 button protrudes enough. I have a silver cover for mine.

Dang guess I gotta warranty then.

Anyone here have any experience with the warranty? I got the sg s4 off Costco.

I got my S2 replaced via Samsung. Just be sure to back everything up and factory reset before you send it to them as they will replace not fix.

Oddly enough, my home button occasionally gets a little sticky (not fully tactile)...

My issue might be because some dirt or something gets in. Every few months I sort of spread some 99% isopropyl over the button area (with the battery out of course), click the button a few times, and it sort of helps it the sticky feeling go away.

Of course, if your button is fully stuck, I'd definitely RMA as suggested.
